My husband and I along with my daughter and 12 yr old granddaughter stayed for 4 nights here and wish we could have been here longer. Everything but the food was provided; the beds slept real well, and the couch was very relaxing. We did not do a lot of fishing as we were on the go taking side trips to Tarpon Springs and Homosassa Springs. We really enjoyed the great Mr King's Chinese Restaurant and also Cracker's seafood since Charlie's was closed. Crystal River is a wonderful place to come for relaxing and we plan to be back next year again earlier in the year so can see the manatee and fish right in the backyard so to speak. Thanks to the Kennedys for their help when we called! Hilda and Austin Phillips, Guntersville, Al.
Owner response:Thank you Austin and Hilda for taking the time to give us a review! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your time here in our home. We look forward to hopefully having you back with us in the future!

We had a wonderful week at this ever so comfortable house. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy it! We really relaxed and just enjoyed nature while we were here. We had a little trouble with the boat while we were down so we didn't get out on the water quite as much as we could have...but it didn't even bother us! I think we needed the time away from work and worries , and this was the perfect house for it!
Owner response:Hello Judy and Kevin! That is wonderful! We are so happy you enjoyed your stay. We look forward to having you back in the future here at Palm Springs.

Kayakers Paradise

Staying in your home in Crystal River made us want to return next year. We enjoy kayaking and with your home on the canal, it couldn't have been more convenient. The home is clean, spacious and with all the amenities we enjoy in our own home. We only hope the weather is a bit warmer the next time so that can also enjoy the beautiful pool.
Owner response:Judy thank you for taking the time to write a review. I'm very pleased to know you enjoyed the kayak. Plan your next trip sometime between April threw August for much warmer Weather. I look forward to your future visit at Palm Springs!

We thoroughly enjoyed out stay. Loved using the canoe and saw dolphins coming up the canal and lots of manatees over at Three Sisters springs. Large yard for my dog to run around in and get her exercise. Would like to return.
Owner response:Thanks Gwendolyn for the review! I'm pleased to know you both had a Wonderful visit to Palm Springs. Plus you couldn't of asked for better Weather! I look forward to your future visits!

Review Submitted: 02/09/11
The house is simple and somewhat unassuming form teh outside, but is nice, clean and a great value once you get in the door. The us eof the kyack and canoe were a great bonus, and it is just a hop and askip away from manatees and all the fun that Crystal River has to offer.
Owner response:Hi Anna! Thanks for taking the time to write a review. I'm pleased to know the kayak and canoe were both used. I encourage guests to use either or both so they can get out and see what Kings Bay has to offer on a very personal level. I look forward to your future visits!

Very Nice Home on the Canal. We saw wildlife every day. Highlights were the manatee, sea otter, pelicans, woodpecker....squirrels playing outside every morning. The three outdoor areas were awesome including the pool (even though it was too cold to use). The area was close to everything and so nice to take morning walks. We love it and would definitely recommend it. Thanks for everything, Keith and Sheryl Ann
Owner response:Hi Sheryl! I'm very pleased you enjoyed your stay at Palm Springs and delighted to hear that you are making Citrus County your new home! Please don't hesitate to reach me if you have any questions about our lovely County. Thanks again!

We were very pleased with the Palm Springs rental. My Husband and our two children came in September. The house included everything that we needed for our week stay. The property is beautiful and there were many fish in the canal behind the house. We took our 20 foot boat down with us and the docking at the house easily accommodated it. If your looking for a nice get away that your kids will equally enjoy, this is your spot! We look forward to coming back next Summer!
Owner response:Thanks Sharon! I'm glad your whole family enjoyed your visit to Palm Springs. I look forward to seeing you all again this Summer!

This was our second stay at this home in the last ten years. We were very comfortable and happy with the accomodations. It is pet-friendly, the floorplan is open and bright and the views from the patio and backyard are amazing. Every morning it was like watching a wildlife parade up and down the canal. The kitchen was well-equipped, the laundry room and linen closet were well-stocked and worked out nicely for our stay. The home is centrally located to restuarants, grocery stores, state parks and nearby boat ramps/boat rentals. I would recommend this home to anyone looking for a quiet, peaceful and relaxing vacation. The Kennedy family has always been gracious and treated us very fairly and professionally. We look forward to coming back again. We have never experienced Crystal River in the spring or summer but I can only imagine that it is equally beautiful then.
Owner response:Thanks again for your most recent stay at Palm Springs! We are delighted that your return was everything you hoped for. We look forward to making your next trip even more enjoyable! Happy New Years!
